I had read that the bathroom areas in the rooms at the Grand Sirenis are exposed to the rest of the room. Is this true and if so, can you drape something over the area for more privacy? We will be traveling with a teen who is at that age where lack of privacy would present a problem.

If anyone could help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

We just returned, we were in building 1800 and the Bathroom had the hole in the wall into the main room. Yes you could put a sheet or something over the hole. I have read here that some rooms have had some form of privacy wall/glass installed.

It was kind of freaky. As even thought there was a hole in the wall, you still always closed the bathroom door..

Throw a few thumbtacks into your suitcase and either bring along a cheap dollar store shower curtain or grab a sheet off the housekeeping cart.

Funny enough, there is also a lock on the bathroom door...

I was there in January and although it wasn't an issue for us, other guests told us they phoned housekeeping and they came up to the room and put up a sheet. This is always an option for you. Also, there are some rooms with frosted glass installed in the hole and you could request one of those. Just talk to your travel agent or e-mail or phone the GS and request one of those rooms.

Thanks to all who responded. I think I will buy a cheap shower curtain and bring some thumb tacks along.
